Great Mom Moment

Asher left me the wrapper of his Reese's Peanut Butter Egg. He told dad that I was a great cook and could use the ingredients on the wrapper to make more :) After such a great compliment I could not drop the ball!

I found a recipe on AllRecipes. Asher came into the kitchen and asked me what I was making, when I responded "peanut butter cups" he smiled so wide. I love making him smile :)

Ingredients

  • 1 (11.5 ounce) package milk chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Trim 12 paper muffin cup liners to half of their height.
  2. Place 1/2 chocolate chips in a microwave safe container. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after each minute. Spoon melted chocolate into muffin cups, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the sides of the cups until evenly coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and salt. divide into the chocolate cups. Melt the remaining chocolate, and spoon over peanut butter. Spread chocolate to edges of cups.

I did not use muffin cups (a suggestion in the recipe reviews).
